I'm looking into the BA CompSci degree at TESU and just had a couple of questions since I'm from Australia and aren't too familiar with the U.S school system.

1. Should I be taking all my ACE credits first and then applying? Or should I apply and talk to a course advisor to know which credits will transfer?
   
2. I've done quite a lot of research into degree hacking but wanted some clarification on the Electives portion of the degree. Can I choose any subject to complete the electives portion? For the CompSci electives, what is classified one of those? And for the Natural Sciences/Math/CompSci electives, can I choose any subject from those disciplines?
   
3. I have tried to choose more enjoyable General Education subjects for myself and wondered if I'm allowed to do that.

My wife has just begun her journey with Sophia Learning and UMPI, and she wants to know if she needs to complete both Art History I and II on Sophia Learning to meet the 2E requirement at UMPI. Can she take just Art History II (without Touchstones), or does she need to complete both courses?

Additionally, I would like to confirm whether Visual Communications still fulfills the 2D requirement. Thank you!

These are the ones who have gained and lost spaces...

Has anybody heard of and/or looked into European Center for Education in Business and Science (ECEBiS)? It says on their website that they're accredited by the Malta Further and Higher Education Authority (MFHEA) as a higher education institution, and it aligns with Level 8 of both the Malta Qualifications Framework (MQF) and the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) for lifelong learning. I'm wondering if that is actually legit and if US academic institutions or employers recognize it.

So I got my PELL approved for roughly '$12,000 but I've been fighting with Upper Iowa Univery about transfer credits. They have no clue what Credly is, keep claiming they didn't receive transcripts, have been SO RUDE, have ignored my emails and I'm just sick of it. And I think that a big chunk of that PELL is now beyond its use-by date. 
I have 103 credit hours with only 6 being upper level (possibly 9, depending on a paleoanthropology course I recently finished.) I'm okay with anything in the area of liberal art (where I can choose history and anthropology courses) , interdisciplinary studies, history or anthropology. The plan is to get my Bachelor's in something that will transfer well towards a Master's later. 
I'm so frustrated and cannot find a program that I can afford, within the area of study that I need. My spouse and I are both disabled so there aren't any funds to add. I tried UMPI but their program starts in January and by then there won't be much of the PELL left. 
Any suggestions would be super appreciated.

Looking at the online Ed.D. in Leadership with the emergency management focus option as a potential doctorate program. (Cost being the largest factor)...
Does anyone have experience with the EdD. specifically or LSU Shreveport (online) generally?

Hello all,
Hopefully I’m posting in the right section. Mods please feel free to move if necessary.

If you are currently enrolled in Law School, a Law Office Study program, or will be applying to Law School, I recently discovered that BarBri offers free resources for 1L, and thought I’d share.

I haven’t started Law School yet, but I’ve started reviewing some of the assignments/video lectures to get an idea of what to expect.


Please find the link below.

FYI access is granted for 3 years.

i see a lot of people here have multiple degrees ( and i am not talking about those who have two bachelors ,a master and maybe a phd)
i mean those who have 4+ 5+ degrees , i am genuinely curious as to why ? does it help you professionally/academically, do people think its overkill ? i am specifically referring to those who have multiple degree across different and unrelated fields, is it just for the joy and challenge of getting a new degree .

This is my first time posting on this forum, and I want to ask:

Is anyone interested in free certificates from China?

I can share some free certificates from China.

These certificates have only collectible value for non-Chinese individuals.

Moreover, these certificates may be difficult to obtain as most require registration with a WeChat account.

Only a small portion can be registered with a phone number, but it has never been tested whether phone numbers from other countries can be used.

The following are some examples of certificates I obtained when I was bored.

About 2-3 years ago (well, 20+ years ago really), I started this journey with the intent of a dual BSBA concentration degree. I've now realized that I need a STEM degree, and that BSBA CIS is just a business degree which will be insufficient.

Minus the cornerstone and capstone, I've completed BSBA OPM. I'm only missing two courses for the CIS AOS, which I'm working on now. I also intend to get the Finance cert, because I have an interest in the field. I believe I may also qualify for the General Management cert, so I'll take all the freebies I can get.

For a STEM degree, BA CS is the easiest option to completion. I'm only missing 3 courses, which I'm working on now and will have them done by the end of October, same with the outstanding CIS courses.

Is there any reason I should NOT drop the BSBA CIS concentration and instead graduate with BSBA OPM and Finance? and just take the CIS as a certificate?

I'm asking because I'm on the old program catalog of BSBA CIS rather than the new BS CIS. If I drop it, it's unlikely I'll be able to get it back. Also, it seems like the certificates and the AOS concentrations may have some different requirements (though maybe it's just because TESU randomly lists accepted AOS courses on their website).

Specifically, the quantifiable benefit to dropping the CIS AOS is that I need to take ECO-4900 for the Finance cert, which is only available at TESU, and I'd have to cram that in with two capstones in my residency term. But if I take the BSBA Finance AOS, then ECO-4900 is not specified as a requirement. Thus, moving the CIS AOS to an undergrad cert saves me from taking an additional 4th year finance course, which will probably be work intensive.

Maybe the BSBA degree sounds "nicer" (more business-y?) with a dual concentration in Operations Management and Finance, rather than Operations Management and Computer Information Systems. But maybe not really, because these are all business administration areas, so it's probably just personal preference. If I was lazy and/or in a rush, I could just stop at BSBA OPM and never mind CIS or Finance.

Presently, I have about 110 RA credits and about 110 alt credits, so I won't have trouble with any overlapping courses between the two degrees. I'll have another 30 alt credits by early-2025 and that will be enough for now. I plan to take a flat-rate term at TESU for residency and completion of the two degrees starting early 2025. The courses will include the cornerstone, two capstones, and two other (easy) courses. I may need to pay to extend one or two of the capstones if they are time consuming or difficult, but I don't mind paying.

Of the other STEM degrees, BS Cloud and BS Cybersec looked interesting, but at while I'm not in a huge rush, I don't want to do 7-10 more courses of specialized UL courses which don't have many alt credit providers. Seems like I'd probably have to do an extra term at TESU with 5 courses if I were to pick one of these routes, which is why I settled on BA CS. I just need a generic STEM degree.
